GeForce GTX 780 Ti Photo and Benchmarks Surface In Asia

hmm, im still wondering how the R9-290x performs with adequate cooling in uber mode, since it throttles hard all the time dropping its results and being held back.

Bring on the aftermarket coolers before making final judgements on these cards, especially overclocking potential. The 780ti looks like an awesome card and is the fastest single card we've seen so far, and we don't know if it is being held back by the same limitations AMD is facing with heat so time will tell.

 

well you have 2 gk110 chips on the titan cooler. 780, titan. I would expect similar temps with that cooler. lower with custom coolers

 

yeah you're right, so its likely only the 290x will show big improvements with custom cooling.

 

Kinda funny how people think a small performance boost against the competition should award them crazy ass prices, especially on hardware thats been out for so long but now they just unlocked it. *I'll just flip this switch and now you give me more money.* Some just need to think with their heads instead of e-peen. *rant out*

 

Guys 2 quick questions if I may..

How much do you guys estimate the 780Ti price in the EU and in euros?

And how long about or when for the custom ones?

 

If it's able to live up to the hyped 30% performance over the 290X, i'm sure we'd all be happy to pay 30% more ($715)

At these breakneck performance levels, 30% is A LOT.

 

Its not 30% faster, Nvidia had the 290x run in quiet mode to make their 780 Ti look much better than it is, as the article states, as in quiet mode, it throttles to a much lower speed than it does in Uber, its only those absolute rubbish ref coolers that are letting them down, which is why im waiting for the customs, as the Ti won't look so great when the 290s come with their proper coolers.

AMD need to change those blowers, they are in desperate need of a change now, they've had those crap things for far to long, just imagine what a new cooler would do for them, if they say done something like the Titan cooler, and just whacked about £20/£30 extra on the price, would do them bloody wonders, i bet sales are being held back quite a bit because of those crap things, be loads of people waiting for the custom cooled.

 

The 290x does not throttle more in quiet mode it does not boost to 1000Mhz it just sits at 800Mhz iirc. What does it matter the 290x in über mode only has 1000Mhz for the first 10 minuets of your gaming session. After that it will throttle down to as low as 600Mhz. Running it in quiet mode probably nets the most consistent numbers (until 3rd party coolers are available).

 

Thanks for the correction, they want to get the custom cooled cards out sharpish

 

I hated my GTX 780 being capped at 80 C by default so I use a custom profile that keeps 98% of my games below 70 C and the other 2 C at 75 C max. Noise isn't an issue either as the cooler is terrific on the GTX 780. I'm not sure I'd want a graphics card that is capped at 95 C myself and as you say after 10 minutes of playing a game the card will underclock itself to keep at that level, coincidentally the length of time that many of these benchmark/demo tests last for reviews. I doubt any of the reviewers play each game for several hours as we would do.

 

780TI
stock clock boosted to 1020mhz and check temps 84C @ 60% fan, not bad.

Although it didnt OC so well, by 1050mhz hit 80C mark and throttled.

Apparently this chiphell user didnt adjust power or temp. limit,.

Edit:
Slight power redesign, more power efficient

 

What card are you hanging out for Tj?

 

To be honest, idk anymore.. :grin:

At first Asus 780GTX Direct CUII
Then decided to wait for custom R9-290x or custom r9-290
now kinda 780Ti, because its full GK110 and I always wanted full 15SMX high-end Kepler.

 

In your opinion, given the current price for GTX770 and 780, is $699 a legitimate price for the Ti's rumored performance?

 

I think it all depends which way you look at it. For example if you look at AMD 290 or 290x they are the best value for the buck. On the other hand 780ti most likely will outperform TITAN (cant wait for a review already) and it is $300 cheaper. So to me $699 is much better deal especially if you are enthusiast and you are looking for the best despite the cost.

 

I think it all depends on how good or bad Mantle is.

If that wasn't on the horizon I would definitely get a custom 780 now, even a 780ti isn't outside my price range if it has decent overclocking potential.

 

That custom Asus 780gtx is 440€, if 780Ti 699$ means 509€ then yes, but if its 699€ hell no, I rather wait a bit for r9-290 customs, this 570gtx still has some muscle in it..

 

I see you have 570. You and me are overdue for upgrade for sure. I do not think i will wait for Mantle. Will get something next week for sure. For me everything depends on Mr. Hilbert's review tomorrow. It is going to be either 290x or 780ti.

 

Couldn't said it any better.. :thumbup:

Or just get a 780/Ghz.. Last time I check the card didn't get any slower..

 

Yep, don't think I've even started a game released in the last 12 months as I like to max, or nearly max everything.

My preference would be a 780ti as I'm used to Nvidia, but if Mantle is good then a custom 290x seems a better long term choice, especially with the extra 1gb of vram.
